From missing the depot completely because of a beautiful woman to cars falling off the tracks. He even tells the story, again, about the fight in the aisle of the train after an Angels game. I think he likes that story!    Intro and Outro:Sounds of Santa Fe Steam Locomotives by Stan Kistler Track 14 At Riverside, October 16 1950, 4-6-2 1369 is on No. 54 

Most of the time, things on the Santa Fe go very smoothly. The story that dad shares today is one time it did not. We also talk about the famous picture that many people have seen of the Santa Fe engine hanging out over Aliso Street. It is the photograph that The Original Whistle Stop model train store uses for their advertisements.  Please check out our NEW SPONSOR!
